Work on the concrete frame of the building is now under way and is expected to last about 28 weeks.

Only last month developers revealed fresh plans for a hotel, apartments and retail units next door.

A planning application for a 155-bedroom hotel, 55 apartments and retail units will be submitted to planning bosses later this month for the car park site off Brunel Way.

The plot, known as C1, will act as a gateway to the long-anticipated Millbay boulevard, linking the city centre to the waterfront and forms part of the wider regeneration of Millbay by developers English Cities fund (ECf).

The retail/restaurant uses are contained within a series of pitched roof spaces adjacent to the waterfront with flexibility to accommodate a range of occupiers and add a future mezzanine level if required.
